International Open Call: Royal Blue 2023

We invite Visual Artists, Painters, Sculptors, Photographers, Craftsmen, etc., to participate in our special Open Call: Royal Blue, which will culminate in: - Finalists Exhibition with awarding Certificates to all Finalists and honoring the Grand Prix winner and Featured Artists. - Solo exhibition of the Grand Prix winner. *Both exhibitions will occur at the Royal Blue Visual Arts Gallery and online. *For Photographers and Digital Artists, we offer Artwork printing and framing for the duration of the Exhibition. *** The contest’s theme is Royal Blue – the color from which the name of our Gallery comes, and Wikipedia defines it as a deep and vivid shade of blue. Legends say it was created in England by clothiers in Rode, Somerset, whose consortium won a competition to make a dress for Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III. The Oxford English Dictionary defines Royal Blue as a “deep, vibrant blue,” while the Cambridge English Dictionary defines it as a “strong light blue color,” and the Collins English Dictionary defines it as a “dark blue color.” American dictionaries describe it as more akin to purple, such as “deep vivid reddish or purplish blue” (Webster’s New World College Dictionary) or “vivid purple blue” (Merriam-Webster). We love them all! And you? *** Entries for this Open Call are accepted until January 30, 2024. The Finalists’ Exhibition will be held on March 1-10, 2024. Grand Prix – Solo Exhibition at Royal Blue Visual Arts Gallery and Virtual Exhibition. Entry FEE: 30 Euro
